Elite Coaching Hub vs MyPTHub
MyPTHub is a long-established coaching platform popular with UK-based personal trainers. It covers the basics of workout delivery, basic nutrition tracking, messaging and habit tracking. However, coaches who want true periodisation, clinical/rehab tooling, advanced scheduling, or a modern mobile-first client experience often find MyPTHub limiting. Elite Coaching Hub was built ground-up in 2025/2026 with all of these capabilities included on every plan.
| Category | Elite Coaching Hub | MyPTHub |
|---|---|---|
| Programme Builder | Full periodisation engine (linear, undulating, block), auto-progression by RPE/velocity/%1RM, drag-and-drop sessions, supersets, circuits, EMOM and complex training methods. | Solid workout builder with templates and supersets. No periodisation engine, no auto-progression rules. |
| Nutrition Planning | Full meal-plan builder, recipe library with macros, fuel scheduling around training, barcode scanner, supplement stacks and microbiome/blood-work integration. | Macro tracking with food logging. Basic meal plan templates. No fuel periodisation or supplement protocols. |
| Scheduling & Bookings | Full calendar, public booking pages, paid bookings via Stripe, group classes, waitlists, cancellation fees and reminders. | Basic scheduling and session tracking. Limited public booking; no paid bookings via the platform. |
| Payments & Packages | Stripe Connect with packages, subscriptions, invoicing, late-cancel fees and session credits. | Payment integration available but less flexible package/credit management. |
| Clinical & Rehab | Injury cases, rehab protocols, clinical letters, biomechanics analysis, blood-work tracking and pain mapping. | No clinical or rehab tooling. |
| UX & Mobile App | Modern PWA installable on iOS/Android. Fast, offline-friendly. Auto-updating. No app-store delays. | Native apps available but UX feels dated. Updates depend on app store releases. |
